POWDERLY INTERVIEWED.
He Talks Conservatively And in
General Terms.


General Master Workman Powderly
arrived at 2:35 o'clock yesterday after
noon,. and upon his arrival at the West
hotel was treated to almost an ovation
in the way of hearty greetings. He
looks to be in better health than when
he last visited Minneapolis. His mus
tache is heavier and shades his face,
giving him a more mature look. OF
course he talked only in general way
about the assembly. 1T was unfortu-
nate that we missed connection at Chi
cago, and / deeply regret we
disappointed the good people this
morning." he said, referring to the re-
eeption exercises. Il think the assem-
bly, will be in session about three weeks.
The basis of the representation has
been reduced two-thirds, and this will
allow us to expedite business Formerly
the body was so large as to be unwieidy.
We will go ahead from the start. L
shall appoint the committees to-day, in
cluding press committee, which L
trust the papers will utilize for their re-
ports and thus obtain some news at
least that is reliable. No, there is no de-
crease in the membership of the Knights,
the changing of assemblies from
mixed to trade divisions has probably
! produced the impre eSsion. The order is
stronger to-day than ever and this will
be the strongest assembly we have yet
had. Oh, yes, there are some diSSen-
sionS, OF rather disagreementS, but not
of such serious moment as the papers
seem to think. l would rather there
would be some differences They do
us good. It's much better than if we
were all of one mind. Why,it is through
the conflict of views thot we are able to
arrive at conclusions nearest the right.
Eyes, L have heard something about

this, whenever the assembly as

Some of the ''pen pictures of delegates
are more lifelike than the alleged newspaper
portraits. For instance, Richard Griffiths
has Il fuli-sized beard, while the pictures
show him with only goatee.

And he doesn't, either.

THE "KICkERS."
Something About the So-Called
Opposition to Powderly.

The arrival of the Chicago delegation
revived the talk about ''kickers," 4" by
which highly suggestive title the OPP
posers to the general master workman
are designated. The supposed Opposi-
theory that the Chicago delegates don't
like it because Powderly opposed the
stock yard strikel last summer. 1t vii
be remembered there was some loud
talk at that time against him, but the
feeling is supposed to have subsidized
somewhat. Then there is the kick for
the reinstatement of ID. A. 126, of New
York, whose course will be championed
byJ. r Buchanan, of ID. A. 50, as
will John Morrison. The latter claims
his district has enough friends to Sc
cure it's reinstatement, and Buchanan
says he means to find the reason why.
Mr.. Buchanan is something of So
ciaIist and evidently does not think the
K.of L.are radical enough. He wants the
government to take charge of the tele-
graphic and other services of public
nature. He does not regard the posi-
ton of a socialist as differing from that
of an anarchist and says:
When, then, say, am state socialist,
do not mean am revolutionist. Anarchy
is not revolution, and anarchists are not rev.
Olutionists, that is, those who attempt to de-
stroy all government. Anarchy is distin-
guished from socialism only in having no
end. 1t. like socialism. seeks to ameliorate
human conditions. but unlike socialism,
either through disappointment ut the futility
of its efforts or through some other cause,
fails to propose to itself. or formulate, any
means to secure the relie1 it seeks.
( do not know, then, that the position of
the socialist is very different, originally.
from that of the anarchist. AS distinguished
from the revolutiOnist, it is far otherwise.
: / did not know of any opposition to my
own admission to the convention until | got
ron the cars when some one said, buchanan
will find pleasant little fight awaiting him. -
I Suppose the opposition comes from the
other delegation OF my state. In regard to
the definition of socialism which l have
given, may say the same definition can be
applied to the resolutions of Mr.. Powderly,
which he proposes to introduce with regard
TO othe admission of socialists. know that
this matter of state socialism, he looks upon
as lido. as the great means by which the
working people are to be elevated.

THE EVENING SESSION.
Powderly Grandly Welcomed by
Over Ten Thousand People.

Powderly Grandly Welcomed by
Over Ten Thousand People.
The Washington rink by s. o'clock
held without doubt the largest crowd
ever seated as an audience in the North
west. The long rows of benches and
chars stretched the full length of
the floor, while the galleries were
thronged far beyond speaking distance
at s O'Clock NJ. Hard and Thyle's Or
cheStra played an overture, but still the
people came. The vast audience was
composed of we'll dressed, intelligent
people, and the delegates to the assem-
bly, will doubtless carry away with
workingmen of Minneapolis and
their families. AS grand tri-
umph for labor, if simply as a
demonstration of the strength of the
cause in the hearts of the people in the
Northwest. AS compliment to Pow
derly and the Knights of Labor. it was
an ovation so signal that it must have
left deep impression upon the hearts
of the great leader and his co-laborers.
The applause that greeted the efforts of
the orchestra was hardly as an
echo when compared with the
deatening cheer that arose moment

air, cried, ''There he is" and Powderly
appeared with Griffith and Trevelfick
on either side. The applause continued
until the trio mounted the stage and
took their seats, and was again resumed
when j. p. McGaughey. the chairman,
appeared. Quite delay occurred in
seating the throng ON the stage
during which the orchestra played
lively airs, not exactly appropriate to
the occasion.
Chairman McGaughey made no ad-
dress, owing to the delay, and after the
sOug "Welcome Tonight" and the
star Spangled Banner by a male
double quartette and another overture,
Richard Trevellick was introduced, and
made ringing Introductory address
that called out rounds of applause at the
close Of every sentence.

The district court here as well as the

violated the law, the remedy lies in
civil action for the revocation of his

INDEMNITY LANDS.
They May Not Prove as Desirable
as Was Thought.

Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Dak., Oct. 3.-Parties are re-
ported very numerously planting their
claim shanties and getting ready to file
intentions OH the indemnity lands on
Oct. 81, but decisions of Dakota courts
are being produced calculated to dis
courage squatters from expending much
time or money in this direction. A
special reference is had to one prepared
for the supreme court by Justice Tripp
at a recent term, and one by Judge Nc
Connell about three weeks since, and
just made public. The substance of
these is that the squatter can only
hold the land he squats on
which is defined as not
acre, enough for garden. He may on
and after Oct. 81 file his declaration
statement or notice of intention to
pre-empt, and dozen others may do
the same on the quarter section, but
they cannot disturb the possession of
the man who has previously occupied
it. He may go ON cultivating if he sees
fit undiSturbed. The courts hold that
the deeds Oh file and the general noto-
riety of the fact of possession are notices
to the squatters that the title to the land
is claimed by the parties who have had
possession. The squatters cannot go
outside of their little patches until the
contest is heard before the land Office
when they ask to prove up or the matter
is adjusted i'm the courts. This will re-
Quire several years under these de-
cisiOns. AS they become understood
there is not likely to be any very great
rush to the indemnity lands that have
